Shapovalov 11-5 This Season
A solid start to the season for Shapovalov has been punctuated with a couple of shock losses but overall, a 11-5 this year is a satisfactory start to 2022. He would like to do a tad better though, especially in a tournament where he has never made it past the fourth round.
Shapovalov comes into this season’s Indian Wells Masters on the back of a semifinal appearance in Dubai where he had gone down to shock finalist Jiri Vesely.
Before that, the 22-year-old also registered his best-ever showing at Australian Open where he made it to the quarterfinal, having earlier been a semifinalist at Wimbledon last year.
A shock win over Alexander Zverev in that competition made him a player to watch out for the rest of the season and a five-setter against Rafael Nadal only reinforced that opinion.
Can he continue his takeoff for the season against a player who hasn’t had best of the starts to the year?

Davidovich Fokina Struggles against Coric
He was 1/4 to come through against Borna Coric but it did not go too easy for Davidovich Fokina in his opener here at Indian Wells Masters.
In a match lasting two hours and 24 minutes, Davidovich Fokina overcame the loss of the first set tie-breaker and then faced Coric serving for the match in the final set before wrapping it up in three sets. Davidovich Fokina won 6-7 (5), 6-0, 7-5 to equal his best performance in this tournament.
Davidovich Fokina faced seven break-points, was broken thrice but in turn broke his opponent a whopping seven times to come through to the second round.
Unfortunately for Davidovich Fokina, he hasn’t had the best of seasons so far, winning just three matches to six losses before this competition. And now up against a player who has shown an ever-improving form in 2022, it could get rather nasty.
Shapovalov v Davidovich Fokina Prediction and Tip
Shapovalov’s solid form against Davidovich Fokina’s 2022 struggles make him a strong favourite. A straight-set win looks most likely for Shapovalov.
Tip: Shapovalov to win in straight sets: 11/10 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
